green_marthaHence, a meme in lieu of a real post.
A) What accessories do you wear everyday?
Watch. On a work day I add at least one ring, one pair of earrings, a necklace and a bracelet. But the rest of the time, just my watch.
B) What is your beauty routine?
I don't really have one, I'm a very low maintenance girl
C) What was the last item of clothing (for yourself) that you purchased?
A new bra as the one I put on that morning died on the way to work
D) Do you use a dresser, closet, or both?
Both, shared with the Home Geek - although I'm takign up waaaaay more space
E) What type of earrings are in your ears right now?
Those ones. Those are the ones my Grandma made for our wedding and her associate finished. And here you can see the matching bead that will be mounted on a ribbon for said marriage. I wanted to wear it but haven't found the ribbon yet, so I made an alternate necklace using bits and bobs from work.
F) What type of figure do you have (measurements)?
85-70-95 (centimeters, not inches !) last time I checked. I'm sort of a mix between a spaghetti and an hourglass.
G) Do you wear glasses?
I haven't been without some form of visual correction since I was 2 or 3. And even with those, I don't get much more than 7/10 on my better eye. The other one is just useless.
H) What type of handbag do you carry?
Today it was this one. I have many handbags, and I switch from one to another on a regular basis. I generally also have a basket (with red and white checked lining) or a rucksack (with a puppy on it) to carry my lunch, book, sketch book and sewing stuff.
I) What is your ideal style?
I don't really think I have one. Something that says "me", most probably.
J) What is your favorite brand of jeans?
I used to be a Levis fan, but they changed their shapes and sizing and now I can't find anything that remotely fits m. I have a fabulous pair of Lee's right now, and a few cheapo ones that I love just as much.
K) Do you wear knee-hi stockings?
I wear some as type this. Although it should be noted that those were OTK that shrinked - but then, even the non-shrinked OTKs I own tend to be a little too short and end up below the knee after fifteen minutes. I do own two pairs of multicolored knee-high stockings.
L) Do you *have* to wear matching lingerie?
I can't, because the nice bras (taht don't cost an arm and a leg) are all synthetic and I can't stand synthetics for the lower part.
M) Do you wear makeup?
Not often. When I do, it's mostly a little powder, a touch of eyeshadow and mascara, and maybe some lipstick.
N) Do you wear nightgowns?
No nightgowns, I repurpose my chemises. Although I have some lovely nightgowns, I had to part witht he poly satin ones (see L), and the cotton ones end up being worn with pyjama pants, being too short for my comfort.
O) What outerwear do you put on when going out on a typical winter's day?
For the last 10 years there's always been a basic long black wool coat in my wardrobe for the winter. It used to be a very long one, but the really warm ankl-length ones have disappeared form the stores a few years ago, so last year I bought a knee-length one, which I love. I have a more sportier, duvet-filled option if going into the woods or in the snow, but ALWAYS knee-lenght at least. My butt likes it warm and comfy.
P) What is your favorite perfume?
Hanae Mori, Papillon Bleu, and I FINALLY OWN A BOTTLE ! *blinks in shock* I actually bought myself a bottle of *eek-price-ag-shock*-perfume... !
Q) Is your motto "quality over quantity" when it comes to clothing and accessories?
I don't know where to find quality for a lot of items, so I tend to go the cheap and numerous route, and believe in taking care of my stuff, and mending. Or maybe I just can't resist a pair of mint green platform sandals for 7 euros, even in the winter.
I do go for quality when buying Doc Marten's (but that only happens every ten years or so... QUALITY !), sports shoes and boots (because my boots had to be taken in, and that already cost the price of a cheap pair of boots, I'd as well like them to really last).
R) Do you wear rain boots?
Nooooooooo !
S) Do you wear socks or slippers when your feet get cold?
Both, my feet get cold easily. And I wear socks in bed in the winter.
T) Do you have a set of travel luggage?
I had two mathing suitcases when I moved to Germany, one reasonably sized and a giant one, but the reasonable one is shattering, and the giant one has a big rip.
U) What is your daily uniform?
I try to avoid wearing one, if I wear the same too often I get bored with what I'm wearing and go out to buy more stuff.
V) If you are married, did you wear a veil with your wedding dress? If not, how did you do your hair?
No intention to wear a veil.
W) Do you wear a watch?
See A. Even if I'm just being a couch potato at home.
X) What item of clothing always makes you feel beautiful?
Nice, funky shoes with some heel.
Y) What is your favorite type of yarn?
Huh ?
Z) Do you prefer zippers or buttons?
Buttons. Zipper break and are a PITA to put in/replace.
